11 nuclear accidents at the level of a full or partial core-melt. 14,000 reactor-years of nuclear operations.

There's a version of Android called Replicant that can run on the HTC Dream phone without proprietary software, except in the U.S. In the U.S., as of a few weeks ago there was still a problem in some dialing library, although it worked in Europe.
